Octopus in Space invite you for another precious edition of Waffles and Swaffles
taking place at UNION in Seoul. . . . A special guest is late (got laid) and will be causing nothing
but hot crepes in space. Once we will stop by the moisty way of space where MandyMozart will nourish us with his new gadgets and treasures, that his little squids were able
to conquer on their space oddyssey. Luckily we could freeIda Grändås-Rhee from being captured
by the mean tentacled Jahquayquay Squid.... Thanks for hosting us to the tripple sticky king DJ Conan and the late Ojingeo Jinbo aka Superfreak and Stonedfresh for jumping in the gourmet soup.

to be continued from 10 to 4 with selections by Jay-Minor and Mr B(eat).

Of course just a little start, but we are seriously trying to convince our slowly growing zoo to keep doing their own shit. Fresh and unreleased we like it best.

Don’t sleep on it.

FREE

BUT FEEL FREE TO DONATE FOR THE ARTISTS ... from 5,000 to 15,000 WON all be happy for the next waffelcocking sessions.

Always good to get new stuff of Flako. His new Ep "Eclosure" is going to be released on the 26th of november via "Five Easy Pieces". Purchase Eclosure 12" Vinyl EP (First 300 Copies on Clear 12" Vinyl, Black Wax After) via http://fiveeasypieces.bandcamp.com/album/eclosure-ep. Goes out to Jonas&Olga.

Since taking off this past August, J. Bizness’ instrumental album Flight Plan has gotten much mileage with fans and critics alike. The album, the first in Mello Music Group’s Instrumental Series, is a collection of 24 selections with a crisp, spacey sound inspired by the freedom of flight.

Back when Flight Plan dropped, as a celebratory bonus, MMG leaked a track by The Black Opera over one of J.’s heatrocks. The result was “Giraffes,” a testament to the sinister seduction of addiction. Now the involved parties are proud to share the visuals for “Giraffes,” directed by Andy Madeleine. The video features our perpetually loc’d out duo narrating the story of a fine young woman descending into the habit of getting high. Over J.’s smooth, electronic and airy production, TBO’s morality tale is a banger.

Masked and unseen, The Black Opera have created an identity in hip-hop using anonymity to standout in a world of hyper-exposure. While most struggle to shine, TBO calmly dress in all black and treat their verses like sermons.

Step into The Black Opera’s “Black Lair.” This high-energy track takes us to a place “blacker than Mutombo,” illuminated only by the musical light of French producer Astronote. A dusty piano begins to pound as a subterranean bass line travels through. Melody Betts lends her haunting but angelic voice to add to the ethereal vibe of the track. Our other-worldly Creators complement the frenetic pace of the song, warning listeners that “perception is king, you never know who’s the diablo.”

This track appeared 2 years ago on our Beat Tape Volume no. 1. Now we have the video. Torky Tork sampled the music and sounds of the original "Signale" movie. Video footage is also of the original East-German flick from 1970. Spread the word!

After dropping his first LP "F A I L U
R E" last year featuring international artists such as Black Spade,
John Robinson, Wildchild, Kris Mars, ... December 2012 marks Mr. Bibal's
return with a 5 tracks EP called "Champs Elysée$". Claiming Paris'
cultural richness and influence on his own work; this young and prolific
music producer reached a new step handling both microphone and
production. In each track, he found a way to blend jazzy nonchalant bass
line and 70's funky arrangement. At 24 years old, Mr. Bibal is
positioned to take up the torch and continue the tremendous work of
artists such as Sa-ra creative partners and Hawthorne headhunters. His
project can be pre-ordered here: http://indemodable.bandcamp.com/album/champs-elys-e-luxueuse-edition

“..where your labels - wonky, lo-fi, ambient, body music, nerd shit, beat
scene, No Wave, pysch, pop - begin to fall apart.“ Leaving Records is an L.A. based cassette label run by Matthewdavid and his partner/visual director Jesselisa Moretti. Their releases are carefully curated, designed and silkscreen-printed. All very much handmade and experimental, just as we like it.

Now, Stonesthrow teams up with Leaving Records to release some kind of a best of compilation of unreleased stuff from the L.R.-artists.

This music and even more this DIY-aesthetic reminds me of a band I used to hear a lot: Folk Implosion. By looking up the band now, I found out that they were also in the kids soundtrack back then. So maybe they are not as unknown as I thought they are..
